OK to start off I did not have a battery tender on my bike for the past month or so. I had riden her about 2-3 weeks ago and she started up OK for me.
Anway so this week I had asked my brother to start her on Sunday. (I store the bike at my parents house in the winter since they have a garage) He said it sounded like the battery was getting weaker and weaker and it would not turn over. He had turned the fuel to prime and had the choke on and such.
Well i came the next night with a battery tender but wanted to try starting it myself. He had left the fuel on prime all night but had turned off the choke. I tried starting her and had a pretty big back fire on my second try. I tried another time or two until the batter sounded like it didnt have enough then the bike backfired again pretty bad.
Is there anythign I should be concerned about here? I had not had any issues really prior to storage.
I am going over tonight to see if the battery tender saved my battery and if she will turn over but I thought I would ask for your opinions first.

Don't leave the charger on the battery when starting the bike!
